This patch executes the devfreq_suspend() for all devfreq devices. The devfreq_suspend() does the following: 1. (mandatory) stop the polling of governor. 2. (optional) If devfreq device specifies the 'opp-suspend' property in DT, the devfreq changes the frequency by using the devfreq->suspend_freq.
If the user of devfreq device doesn't want to change the frequency during the system shutdown, just don't add the 'opp-suspend' property in DT. And the devfreq_suspend() will just stop the polling for governor.
Even if on battery-powered devices, I think it is not problem to stop the polling of governor during the system shutdown.
In my case, I don't know what is dangerous. Could you explain it more detailed.
